I hate that South Park episode, but isn't this indeed like choosing from giant douche and turd sandwich? 🤔
I've been wondering why the word "Oriental" is considered bad and "Asian" should be preferred for quite some time — because it doesn't sound racist to me at all.
Turns out it indeed isn't: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-tsuchiyama-oriental-insult-20160601-snap-story.html
It's just some bullshit that white people pursue in the US to overcompensate for racism towards black people 🤦
Google is threatening to kill Firefox if we do not surrender:

We have to act now and start bombing their infrastructure to save the world!
OMG, @protonprivacy has added support for WireGuard over TCP and WG over TLS (branded Stealth) to their Windows software!
And the changelog entry for such game changer version is "Bug fixes and performance improvements" — very descriptive 🤦
The source for this isn't yet available on their GitHub, but I hope it will soon. But what I'm interested in most is their fork of wireguard-go that works on normal non-Android Linux-systems so I can run it on my proxy and stop using my phone as a VPN box.
Firefox 129 Now Available With HTTPS Replacing HTTP As Default Protocol: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Firefox-129-Released
"…most websites are defaulting these days to promoting HTTP connections to HTTPS anyhow"
Why do you guys do this shit then? The ones who want their visitors to use HTTPS have ways to do that, those who don't — they don't want that. I've been disabling this "HTTPS by default" thing for years — with the way FF became, I'm not even sure they have left this option. Another reason to not update! 😩
RISC-V is going mainstream: see how the Milk-V Jupiter Mini ITX board runs as a normal desktop PC, with Ubuntu, Bianbu, and Fedora Linux! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxtFctEsHy0

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
